Install Video Frames

Pick your agent. Every command is ready to paste.

$npx skills add iflytek/skillhub --skill video-frames

The open skills CLI detects your agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ more) and installs to the right folder. Add -g to install globally.

01

Install it

Run the command above, or upload the folder in Claude.

02

Ask naturally

Describe the task. Your agent loads video-frames when the request matches its description.

If it does not trigger, say “use the video-frames skill”. In Codex, type $video-frames.

Video Frames (ffmpeg)

Extract a single frame from a video, or create quick thumbnails for inspection.

Quick start

First frame:

bash scripts/frame.sh /path/to/video.mp4 --out /tmp/frame.jpg

At a timestamp:

bash scripts/frame.sh /path/to/video.mp4 --time 00:00:10 --out /tmp/frame-10s.jpg

At a zero-based frame index:

bash scripts/frame.sh /path/to/video.mp4 --index 42 --out /tmp/frame-42.png

Notes

  • Prefer --time for "what is happening around here?".
  • Use a .jpg for quick share; use .png for crisp UI frames.
  • --index accepts a non-negative integer only.
  • The script never overwrites an existing output. Choose a new path or remove the old file only after the user explicitly asks to replace it.

Tips for Video Frames

  • • Start a fresh session after installing so your agent picks up the new skill.
  • • This skill ships scripts. Read them before the first run, and run it in a project without secrets first.
  • • It is part of a pack with 24 skills. Install only the ones you need with --skill to keep triggers precise.
  • • If two skills overlap, mention the one you want by name.
